V. Sattui Winery Review

My favorite Winery of all times they have a fantastic deli when the food is AWESOME! When I go & visit my cousins in Vacaville that's my first. There picnic area is so beautiful with lots of shade all around you. I go up north at least twice a year. I also like driving to San Diego I love old town San Diego & of coarse market stree. Las Vegas always when there's time.

Beautiful grounds but crowded and I understand the prices have gone up with this one popularity. The wine tasting for $10 was very good.

This place is so unique and so wonderful! I miss it and the maderia is one of a kind lovely.

The best winery collection for my taste!
Great to go with family and friends!

Had a outdoor family picnic at V Sattui this afternoon with some food from their deli and a bottle of wine! It was fun and wonderful! A great place to have friends and family come here to meet and chat! The price of the wine is reasonable but the return home traffic are terrible ! Next time we will try to get out before 2:00 PM or after 7:00PM!

My wife and I love this place. We got engaged here in Dec 2014 and can't wait to go back!

My husband and I were able to taste 5 different wines for $20 each. We bought a bottle of wine and had a picnic lunch outside the vineyard. The staff was so helpful since this was our first time. I was able to purchase a few bottles and have them put in styrofoam for transport on an airplane. I definitely recommend this place if you are new to wine tasting and looking for a laid back atmosphere.

Solid. One of the few wineries in Napa that can take large groups. The estate is vast and really beautiful...take a couple walks with wine in hand! There s a large field/lawn with picnic tables where you can hang out after buying a bottle (or two), cheese, bread, snacks, etc from the market. The tastings are really nice as well.

We came here as part of a tour of around 30. The service was great and we were able to have lunch (provided as part of the package deal) with barrels. Fun times.

Beautiful setting but very busy place. I really liked the Deli but again you need to be ready to wait. The wine was too fruity and sweet for my taste but I enjoyed sitting outside and eating.

Its perfect, a beautiful castle, great views, magic place!

Today was my first time going wine tasting. I loved every minute of it. I HIGHLY suggest this place! Beautiful, clean, good food, excellent wine and awesome, knowledgeable staff

Very nice time, nice wine and even in these times, it was a perfect place to kick back, unwind and enjoy a piece of peace. Excellent wines, deli and dips, vinegars, breads and sandwiches. I'm a member, enjoying their wines.

Picnic grounds are looking junky....too much watering and why water benches(!?) Ladies bathrooms need maintenance. Great wine and nice people representing the brand. We have been regulars since 1989....we love coming....just hate to see the inattention. We'll be back!!

Best place for learning about what wine you might like, having a picnic and drinking in Napa Valley ambiance.

Not for me. Too touristy and crowded. The pinot noir and maidera were amazing and the host was knowledgeable. However there were too many people and they didn't have any promos like buying multiple bottles waive the tasting fee. The market is a nice touch to pinic but still too crowded.

Always our first stop in Napa Valley. Great wine, perfect location, and good food!

Been here three times and we always put this place on our list as our picnic venue. Beautiful grounds and food choices were good. Wished there were more food choices that were picnic worthy. Service could also be improved.

Great rose, madiera and tawney port. Has a large selection of deli foods, salads and cheeses.

After enjoying the tasting at the counter, we had the purchased wine on the terrace.

First time wine tasting was good...and they have huge variety of red and white wines...Lot of parking place...Nice outdoor place to enjoy wine and food under tree...

Nice place for a picnic. Tasty prepared foods and wine available onsite as well.

A wide variety of wines available, just about anybody should be able to find a wine they enjoy here. The deli is delicious. The grounds and facilities are also great. The staff have never disappointed. Can be a great place for a new or novice wine drinker to figure out what they may like.

This is a MUST when visiting Napa or while doing a wine tour around, over 100 Years this place is unique with a large selection of wines and a GREAT Deli with lots of selections including cheeses, hams, pastries and also paninis made on the spot that can pair with salads sold by weight.

Due to Covid-19 Reservations are required for wine tasting.
They have an amazing location for weddings or any celebrations.

We always enjoy stopping by at V.Sattui and ofcourse La

Unfortunately, my tasting today at V. Sattui was the most unwelcome I ve ever felt at any wine tasting in California. I had been to V. Sattui before (July 25th) and had a great experience with Michael for the Under the Oaks Tasting. Sadly Bart (our host today) was incredibly rude to my friends and I. We were rushed to finish our tasting in less than 30 minutes. Multiple times we had to chug our wine in order to get the next tasting. The most unfortunate experience was when he poured a new wine on top of my husband s wine when he wasn t done. At the end, Bart told us we needed to leave since we had 6 wines. We only had 5, and he made us explicitly list the 5 we had on the sheet to prove we weren t lying. After we told someone in the store about this experience, she told us we should join the wine club if we want to have good service. In the future, I ll go to a vineyard that treats everyone kindly regardless of wine club status.

Typical Cabernet fruit bomb lacking any interesting character & one of the worst meals I ve had in a long time. Sorely disappointing.

My favorite winery in Napa. Become a cellar club member and get free exclusive tasting in members area if you buy at least 6 bottles I think. I always buy at least a case of these great wines. Service is excellent. The winery is beginning to suffer a bit from its own success with the crowds but it is still a must in St Helena.

If you're looking for a picnic with wine, cheese, and meats then you found the perfect spot.

I've been visiting V. Sattui for many years. I've never found a better place to enjoy a picnic with family. The wine tastes great and you'll have a chance to taste many of them here at the wine tasting bar. The cheese and meat area is a PITA when this place is busy, so expect a crowd. They have everything else you'll need for the picnic, so don't worry about anything.

If you're lucky you'll see the train go by while you're eating at a picnic table.

Doing alittle Xmas shopping for my sister. Wife and I enjoying the outdoors and a glass of

A great relaxing fathers day @ V. Sattui wine tasting at the terrace.

Disappointed at retired military treatment - I really enjoyed their reisling as it waa light, smooth with a very clean finish !! Hopefully they can ship this one in particular !!!

Great place for having picnic and tasting food and wine

Wonderful wines but horrid staff. They made me feel very unwelcome. What happened to service with a smile? An absolute turnoff. I bought a couple of bottles of wine. But I will not be returning.

Had a great time celebrating my sister in laws birthday! We enjoyed a fantastic lunch. I got a bread, salami and jalapeno goat cheese to make myself a delicious sandwich to compliment my wine. Some girls did the same, others ordered food from the barbeque which was fantastic! Cannot wait to go back to spend more time here!

very good
Grab a bottle of wine and some cheeses and other snacks that you have the urge in the store, and then go to the area with trees and tables is all good !!!
V. Sattui Winery is a winery and store located in St. Helena, in the Napa Valley region of California. The winery was originally established in San Francisco in 1885 by Vittorio Sattui. They opened their Napa Valley store in St. Helena in 1976. The president of the winery is Tom Davies.

Great wines, great views, friendly staff, good food, fair prices. The grounds are very pretty as well and deserving of a look around if you have time. If not, just stop by the deli to do a tasting, and find a bottle or two. Then grab some food, and have a picnic on the lawn.

Went for my wife's birthday we had a great time! Not too formal or stuffy. Delicious wines. Tried many enjoyed them all

If you don't care having a comfortable seat and a decent glass to have your wine you should go a head.

Tasting is a popular winery with reasonable prices and plenty of shops.

Love the deli. Love the wine. Love the atmosphere. One of the best places to visit in northern california.

It's one of my favorite wineries near Napa. Went there twice and was very happy and satisfied. There is BBQ in weekends. There is a nice outdoor dining area where you can enjoy the food and drinks. Their wine is also good.

Came here for a last min scheduled tasting so super glad they could take us. Unfortunately and fortunately we had a few hours to pass. We stopped in and decided to go buy a bottle while we waited. The amount of open space on the lawn along the highway was excellent, well spaced and clean. Later we had out tasting session and it seemed like a totally different location. Unsure if it was the tasting overflow section or what, but having a tasting area below the bathrooms does not make for a pleasant tasting. Pro tip: buy a bottle and go sit out on the lawn, much less crowded, and cleaner air.

Nice wines, nice grounds. Very limited access to drinking water was a big let down.

First stop on a weekend of tasting in Napa and surrounding....

HUGE tasting room and a lot going on here. Enjoyed the tastings enough to take some of their Old Vine Zinfandel home with me.

The BBQ made it a lock for my next trip up. Reasonably priced for truly upscale food out on the lawn. Always a good idea to start a long hard wine crawl with good food in your stomach!

The deli shop is great for the tasty food and reasonable price. A good place for lunch/picnic. I have been to Napa several times and always have trouble finding cost-effective Asian food here. Of course I know there are a dozen of fine restaurants nearby but it is not likely to spot good Asian food. Here I order a median size Thai noodle salad, a Jambalaya and prawns. All of them are very delicious and the cost is just $45. Fantastic

Amazing picnic area to enjoy a bottle of wine with loved ones

I'm new to winery taste events and this location was nice and had a good atmosphere with musical performance. Not anybody huge yet still relaxing cool for enjoying a weekend day... #sundayfunday

This winery was great for tasting and having a picnic lunch outside with delicious food purchased in their market. I rated 4 stars, because the wines were not nearly as good as the other wineries we tried. We enjoyed their sweet wines, but the Cabernet Sauvignon and Pinot Noir didn't even come close to competing with neighbor wineries. Still, this winery was nice and a unique experience we would definitely recommend.

Had an amazing time! Buy and try the Madeira! It's excellent!

This place has all different types of wines, our bartender Ed was very nice and he gave us really good recommendations. The prices are very affordable and the environment is scenic. They also offer a Deli with cheese, sandwiches and all type of charcuterie.

A winery we went by dive. The wine here is the seedling zinfandel. This is the same as the Italian premiere. Italian immigrants who have moved to the United States probably opened wineries here.
Buy a tasting ticket for $ 20 and pick wine from around 30 at the counter. First I drink Chardonnay, then Zinfandel, then Pinot Noir, the classic Cabernet Sauvignon. After all Zinfandel is delicious. Buy three Zinfandel 2015 for souvenirs.
I will have lunch in my free space with my son and his wife, who live in Cupertino, and buy another one, Zinfandel, and almost one at an outside table.

A winery that I jumped in and this wine was Zinfandel. This is the same as the Italian Primitio. It seems that Italian immigrants who have come to America have opened up wineries here and there.
They bought a tasting ticket for 20 dollars and choose from about 30 different wines at the counter.First, we drink Chardonnay, then Jinfandel, then Pinot Noir, and the regular Cabernet Sauvignon.The fan fan is delicious after all.I'll buy three of the 2015-year-old Jin Fandel as a souvenir.
I had lunch with my son and his wife who lived in Kupacino, and bought another one for Jinfandel and drank almost one at the outside table.

Great day at the winery. Tried several wines. Also sampled different cheeses and balsamic vinegars. Their deli looked amazing Had a nice lunch in the courtyard Kids had grape juice while we sampled wine.

A great winery in Napa Valley with a wonderful gourmet deli and picnic areas.

Many visits to this outstanding winery. Also, my wife and I were married during one of their outstanding Tuscan tours at Castello Delle Serre. Dario and company do it like no others... An absolute "MUST" on your trip to the West Coast.

Great food and wine. Beautiful setting for lunch outside picnic grove

I would give them 5 stars as I love the winery, atmosphere, etc., I love, love, love their red wines, but... I am a wine club member and I can never hey ahold of the wine club department. I leave messages on the voice mail, I send e:emails and I don't get response. Very disappointed in their customer service.

V. Sattui has exceptional wines, that vary based on preferences. You can walk around the vineyard and go to the market without a reservation, however to wine taste you must make a reservation - if we were to do it again, we would have gone to the market bought wine and food and eaten at the outside tables, although trying all the different wines was fun, food is permitted in the tasting area. The staff was very friendly and knowledgeable! The atmosphere was very beautiful and bright - loved the overall ambiance. I recommend ordering your wine there if you are going to want to take it home as it has proved to be tough to find anywhere else. Enjoy :)

A napa classic to stop with children, has a great outdoor picnic area

Because we were riding we didn't do any wine tasting but the cheeses, crackers, dips and other snacks we sampled were fantastic. Ended up filling up a top case of goods. Yum!
Perfect for a picnic as they had great shade, tables and a fountain.

Great outdoor experience. Original European craft winery

Do not order or ship any wine. Took over two weeks to ship, ran out of a wine we had ordered, did not bother to call and advise, I only found out because I kept checking on my order. Got my order AND it was WRONG !!!
still waiting on correct wine. Stick to Sonoma !!

Great place to visit while in Napa valley. Buy food, and have a picnic at the grounds outside.

Went to a tasting event today
Absolutely fabulous
Michael was wonderful!
Can't wait to go back

Loved the wines they are especially good if you have a sweet tooth, but the service I would have to say feels very rushed, very we are about numbers and not people. Also not our server but another seemed to be a little more focused on a particular set of ladies and not the other customers.

The BBQ here is the best! But maybe a little too much

This was one of our favorite stops! The wines are of the less expensive variety, as well as the tasting. You get to taste 6 wines for quite a bargain. They even let my husband and I share a tasting. Gabe, our tasting guide, was wonderful! Full of personality and information. I think he was the best part of our visit. Thanks Gabe!

This place is great. You're in the Napa valley, youve been drinking wine all day. Not ready to hit Oakville grocery for full on lunch so you stop here for a bottle of wine, cheese and snacks. Eat outside on the picnic tables in the grass. Great spot. Part wine store part cheese monger, part outdoor picnic area.

I like that there's a picnic area and we will usually pack a whole feast to come here. The wines are good and will suit most beginners taste. There's also a delicious deli inside with prepared items that are pretty additions or to make your own picnic. They serve BBQ items on the weekend and I'm not a big fan of the food. If you want, go across the street and get some sandwiches from dean and deluca instead (along with some of their awesome baked goods) and have enjoy the outdoors.

Jack (number 21) was an absolute professional when it comes to his job. He was knowledgeable about everything we asked him and was an absolute joy to talk to. We will be back with the sole intention of talking with Jack again while he educated me and my wife about the vineyards. 10/10

Janet is my favorite wine expert at the moment, always has a smile. Very customer service oriented

love this place. sadly was attacked and clawed on the back of the head by an in flight black bird. says nothing about the quality of the place. nice place. mad birds.

V. Sattui is the only winery that I've visited twice. I love it for the flexibility -- you pay $15 for 5 tastings and you can choose from the menu which ones you want to taste! It's cheap and there are some great wines on the list. They also have a marketplace with samples of cheeses, spreads, and dips. You can buy some snacks and go outside to eat with your wine.

To be perfectly honest, I've never been a fan of the wine here. It really baffles me when I meet others who love their wines. The only ones I've tried here that I would not pour are the Napa Valley Cabernet and perhaps the Napa Valley Syrah. My non-wine drinking friends tend to love this place because the wines tend to be on the sweet and fruity side. They also love their Angelica and Madeira dessert wines. However, this review will be on my experience as a visitor and as someone who coordinated a company event here.

EVENT:

Coordinator:
First off, Caitlin is wonderfully organized and will make your event a piece of cake to plan for. She takes care of all the hard parts for you, even the contract is easy to fill out!

Tour:
Lisa is hands down the best guide I've encountered in Napa. She is incredibly peppy, friendly, very knowledgeable, and will captivate your entire audience. Basically, if you crossed the personalities of Kristen Bell and Jennifer Lawrence, you would end up with someone like Lisa.

Food:
The catered food here was fantastic! I knew it would be good but everyone in my company was singing praises over how it great it was and kept going back for more plates. I ordered the smoked ribs, baked salmon, caprese salad (I LOVE heirloom tomatoes), pesto pasta (I am a sucker for basil pesto), a simple artisan cheese plate, and creme brulee (super thick and creamy!). For those who do not like caramelized sugar, the coat on top is so thick that you can just flip it off and eat just the cream; everybody wins!

Venue:
We held our event inside their barrel room which was set up with several round tables. It's a really cool place to hang out in but it does get cold so bring something warm!

VISIT:

Tasting Room:
No appointment needed and their tasting fee is only $10-15. Their bottles also won't put a dent in your wallet either. This place is always packed and busy but their staff are well trained and will urge you to not be shy and squeeze in.

Deli:
This place is a treasure trove of yummy goods. How could I not love a place that carries over 200 cheese???

Grounds:
It is quite pretty at V. Sattui with pergolas (arbors), fountains, and gorgeous trees. There are picnic tables for you to eat or hangout at but they do filll up fast on the weekends and sunny days.

Even if I'm not joining their wine club anytime soon, I do enjoy coming back time after time for the deli and because I still think it's a great stop for those who are still new to wines. I do highly recommend V. Sattui for events and they are one of the only 6 places in Napa who can hold weddings.

Great place and wine tour. Learned so much about the wine making process and food pairings from host Virginia.
